How many other blogs, pictures, reviewers, and other forms of "proof" would you like?

The last few start to broach onto the topic of DR/Mattels non-existant customer service of which I've had the displeasure of dealing with to boot.

If you meant 6 inch, I agree, otherwise couldn't disagree more. My 8 inch Lion-O has a tight as heck connector piece.

And while you may point out the bad figures of MOTU, that is what, five figures out of 68. That is 7%, so 7% of the He-Man figures have defects. Bandai can only comment on two 8 inch figures, and five 6inch figures. Until Bandai has the entire teams out for both Classic and New in the 6inch scales (and by that I mean both the Cats and the main villians), I do not want to hear how much better their QC is.
Hard not to make a big point of it when my own collection is over 58% defective. I'm not talking a paint bloop or a bent sword. I'm talking mis-assembled, missing accessories, "chewed"/malformed/malmolded, or with joints so loose that the figure is essentially a ragdoll. From July 2009 until January of 2011 I didn't purchase a single figure that could stand up without using a cape/staff as a tripod and/or not explode into lots of small green pieces moments after opening the package.

Sounds like I've had a bad luck streak and it's not the norm, right? Wrong. There are people who have had it far worse then I have. Many.

Mattel would've pumped out 13 versions of Lion-O at this point and not the kits or Cheetara, with Tygra being shortpacked and nearly impossible to find.

The shelves would be full of clearanced Lion-Os.

Remember, that's how they handle their mass retail boy brands and what killed 200X He-man and what was a factor in killing Green Lantern.
